We quantify the interannual-to-decadal variability of the heat content (mean temperature) of the world ocean from the surface through 3000-meter depth for the period 1948 to 1998. The heat content of the world ocean increased by ;2 3 10 joules between the mid-1950s and mid-1990s, representing a volume mean warming of 0.06°C. This corresponds to a warming rate of 0.3 watt per meter squared (per ...

BACKGROUND Multi-infarct dementia (MID), a prominent subtype of vascular dementia (VaD), has only achieved recognition in the last 4 decades. Since its original description, the characterization, etiological understanding, and therapeutic direction of MID and other VaD subtypes has progressed at an astounding rate. SUMMARY This paper divides the landmark discoveries and emergence of new resea...

This paper forms an important contribution for such studies. While so far most remote sensing observations are performed in the near-infrared spectral region, organize in TCCON, this paper presents observations in the mid-infrared, organized in the NDACC. Since most NDACC observations cover a longer-time span, it makes sense to perform such studies also in the mid-infrared. This holds especiall...

Objectives: Serotype G9 rotaviruses have emerged as one of the leading causes of gastroenteritis in children worldwide since the mid-1990s, suggesting that G9 is a globally

OBJECTIVES there are indications that patients with a mitochondrial disorder (MID) develop malignomas or benign tumors more frequently than the general population. The aims of the study were to find out if the prevalence of tumors is actually increased in MID-patients and which of the malignomas or benign tumors are the most frequent. METHODS The charts of MID-patients were retrospectively ev...

Since mid-last century, the international scientific community has been developing a concept that each day presents more and varied ramifications: sustainability [...]

On October 6, 1979, the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve System embarked on an aggressive policy to lower the inflation rate, which then stood near 12 percent. That effort succeeded: By the mid-1980s, the rate of change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was reduced to less than 4 percent on a three-year moving-average basis, as shown in figure 1. The commonly reported measur...
